1"I can listen no longer in silence. I must speak to you by such means as are within my reach. You pierce my soul. I am
2half agony, half hope. Tell me not that I am too late, that such precious feelings are gone for ever. I offer myself to
3you again with a heart even more your own than when you almost broke it, eight years and a half ago. Dare not say that
4man forgets sooner than woman, that his love has an earlier death. I have loved none but you. Unjust I may have been,
5weak and resentful I have been, but never inconstant. You alone have brought me to Bath. For you alone, I think and
6plan. Have you not seen this? Can you fail to have understood my wishes? I had not waited even these ten days, could I
7have read your feelings, as I think you must have penetrated mine. I can hardly write. I am every instant hearing
8something which overpowers me. You sink your voice, but I can distinguish the tones of that voice when they would be
9lost on others. Too good, too excellent creature! You do us justice, indeed. You do believe that there is true
10attachment and constancy among men. Believe it to be most fervent, most undeviating, in F. W. "I must go, uncertain of
11my fate; but I shall return hither, or follow your party, as soon as possible. A word, a look, will be enough to decide
12whether I enter your father's house this evening or never." Such a letter was not to be soon recovered from. Half an
13hour's solitude and reflection might have tranquillized her; but the ten minutes only which now passed before she was
14interrupted, with all the restraints of her situation, could do nothing towards tranquillity. Every moment rather
15brought fresh agitation. It was overpowering happiness. And before she was beyond the first stage of full sensation,
16Charles, Mary, and Henrietta all came in. The absolute necessity of seeming like herself produced then an immediate
17struggle; but after a while she could do no more. She began not to understand a word they said, and was obliged to plead
18indisposition and excuse herself. They could then see that she looked very ill, were shocked and concerned, and would
19not stir without her for the world. This was dreadful. Would they only have gone away, and left her in the quiet
20possession of that room it would have been her cure; but to have them all standing or waiting around her was
21distracting, and in desperation, she said she would go home. "By all means, my dear," cried Mrs Musgrove, "go home
22directly, and take care of yourself, that you may be fit for the evening. I wish Sarah was here to doctor you, but I am
23no doctor myself. Charles, ring and order a chair. She must not walk." But the chair would never do. Worse than all! To
24lose the possibility of speaking two words to Captain Wentworth in the course of her quiet, solitary progress up the
25town (and she felt almost certain of meeting him) could not be borne. The chair was earnestly protested against, and Mrs
26Musgrove, who thought only of one sort of illness, having assured herself with some anxiety, that there had been no fall
27in the case; that Anne had not at any time lately slipped down, and got a blow on her head; that she was perfectly
28convinced of having had no fall; could part with her cheerfully, and depend on finding her better at night. Anxious to
29omit no possible precaution, Anne struggled, and said-- "I am afraid, ma'am, that it is not perfectly understood. Pray
30be so good as to mention to the other gentlemen that we hope to see your whole party this evening. I am afraid there had
31been some mistake; and I wish you particularly to assure Captain Harville and Captain Wentworth, that we hope to see
32them both." "Oh! my dear, it is quite understood, I give you my word. Captain Harville has no thought but of going." "Do
33you think so? But I am afraid; and I should be so very sorry. Will you promise me to mention it, when you see them
34again? You will see them both this morning, I dare say. Do promise me." "To be sure I will, if you wish it. Charles, if
35you see Captain Harville anywhere, remember to give Miss Anne's message. But indeed, my dear, you need not be uneasy.
36Captain Harville holds himself quite engaged, I'll answer for it; and Captain Wentworth the same, I dare say." Anne
37could do no more; but her heart prophesied some mischance to damp the perfection of her felicity. It could not be very
38lasting, however. Even if he did not come to Camden Place himself, it would be in her power to send an intelligible
39sentence by Captain Harville. Another momentary vexation occurred. Charles, in his real concern and good nature, would
40go home with her; there was no preventing him. This was almost cruel. But she could not be long ungrateful; he was
41sacrificing an engagement at a gunsmith's, to be of use to her; and she set off with him, with no feeling but gratitude
42apparent. They were on Union Street, when a quicker step behind, a something of familiar sound, gave her two moments'
43preparation for the sight of Captain Wentworth. He joined them; but, as if irresolute whether to join or to pass on,
44said nothing, only looked. Anne could command herself enough to receive that look, and not repulsively. The cheeks which
45had been pale now glowed, and the movements which had hesitated were decided. He walked by her side. Presently, struck
46by a sudden thought, Charles said-- "Captain Wentworth, which way are you going? Only to Gay Street, or farther up the
47town?" "I hardly know," replied Captain Wentworth, surprised. "Are you going as high as Belmont? Are you going near
48Camden Place? Because, if you are, I shall have no scruple in asking you to take my place, and give Anne your arm to her
49father's door. She is rather done for this morning, and must not go so far without help, and I ought to be at that
50fellow's in the Market Place. He promised me the sight of a capital gun he is just going to send off; said he would keep
51it unpacked to the last possible moment, that I might see it; and if I do not turn back now, I have no chance. By his
52description, a good deal like the second size double-barrel of mine, which you shot with one day round Winthrop." There
53could not be an objection. There could be only the most proper alacrity, a most obliging compliance for public view; and
54smiles reined in and spirits dancing in private rapture. In half a minute Charles was at the bottom of Union Street
55again, and the other two proceeding together: and soon words enough had passed between them to decide their direction
56towards the comparatively quiet and retired gravel walk, where the power of conversation would make the present hour a
57blessing indeed, and prepare it for all the immortality which the happiest recollections of their own future lives could
58bestow. There they exchanged again those feelings and those promises which had once before seemed to secure everything,
59but which had been followed by so many, many years of division and estrangement. There they returned again into the
60past, more exquisitely happy, perhaps, in their re-union, than when it had been first projected; more tender, more
61tried, more fixed in a knowledge of each other's character, truth, and attachment; more equal to act, more justified in
62acting. And there, as they slowly paced the gradual ascent, heedless of every group around them, seeing neither
63sauntering politicians, bustling housekeepers, flirting girls, nor nursery-maids and children, they could indulge in
64those retrospections and acknowledgements, and especially in those explanations of what had directly preceded the
65present moment, which were so poignant and so ceaseless in interest. All the little variations of the last week were
66gone through; and of yesterday and to-day there could scarcely be an end.
